Driving along a boring stretch of interstate in Illinois, you start experimenting using the average speed equation you learned i

n class. You drive 29 meters per second for 120s, then 35 meters per second for 300s. Then you entertain yourself by determining your average speed during those time intervals. What is your average speed for the experiment?

The average speed would be 33.29m/s.
The average speed equation is:

Average speed =  \frac{total distance}{total time}

First you will need to solve for the distance you traveled in each scenario. So we can solve this by getting the product of speed and the time traveled. 

Scenario 1:
Speed = 29m/s
Time = 120s
Distance = ?

Distance = (29m/s)(120s)
               = 3,480m

Scenario 2
Speed = 35m/s
Time = 300s
Distance = ? 

Distance = (35m/s)(300s)
               = 10,500m

Now that you have the distance of both, you can solve for your average speed. 

Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}
                                = \frac{3,480m+10,500m}{120s+300s}
                                = \frac{13,980m}{420s}
                                = 33.29m/s

car rides on four wheels that are connected to the body of the car by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down ove
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

78.4 KN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass of person 'm' =80 kg

car dips about i.e spring stretched 'x'=   1 cm  => 0.01m

acceleration due to gravity 'g'= 9.8 m/s^2

as we know that,in order to find approximate spring constant we use Hooke's Law i.e  F=kx

where,

F = the force needed

x= distance the spring is stretched or compressed beyond its natural length

k= constant of proportionality called the spring constant.

F=kx ---> (since f=mg)

mg=kx

k=(mg)/x

k=(80 x 9.8)/ 0.01

k=78.4x10^3

k=78.4 KN/m

Two balls with masses of 2.0 kg and 6.0 kg travel toward each other at speeds of 12 m/s and 4.0 m/s, respectively. If the balls
Alina [70]

Answer:

The kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 6.0 kg

initial speed of the first ball, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial speed of the second ball, u₂ = 4 m/s

let v be the final velocity of the two balls after the inelastic collision

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 12 + 6 x 4 = v(2 + 6)

48 =  8v

48 / 8 = v

v = 6 m/s

The initial kinetic energy of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(2)(12²) + ¹/₂(6)(4)²

K.E₁ = 144 + 48

K.E₁ = 192 J

The final kinetic of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)(v²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(2 + 6)(6²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(8)(6²)

K.E₂ = 144 J

The lost in kinetic energy of the balls is K.E₂ - K.E₁ = 144 J - 192 J = -48 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J
